George V, Imperial Democrat

on BBC Radio 3

'Remember, Mr Gandhi, I won't have any attacks on my Empire.'

Kenneth Morgan, historian and Fellow of Queen's College, Oxford, argues that King George V's image as a fireside-loving King concealed a political shrewdness that ensured the survival of the monarchy into a more democratic, post-imperial age.
